Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

The Poor People's Campaign is a national campaign raising awareness of and the immediate need to address the issues of poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation, and systemic racism. For six Mondays in May and June there will be rallies by the Poor People's Campaign in Olympia and at least 30 other state capitals across the United States.

This first Action of Washington State's Poor People's Campaign is scheduled with the theme: SOMEBODY'S HURTING OUR PEOPLE: Children, Women, and People with Disabilities in Poverty. You can RSVP to attend this event HERE. Follow-on rallies are scheduled on 5/21, 5/28, 6/4, 6/11, and 6/18. You can also sign up to join and receive updates on the Campaign at https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org.

Anyone intending to participate in nonviolent civil disobedience as part of this Action is asked to attend a training beforehand. This training is intended to ground participants in the values and goals of the campaign and to support individuals in making informed, personal decisions on whether to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience.
